democracy are so valid and so at
tractive,” Dr. Cadler said, “they
would appeal to people everywhere
in the world if they could be prop
erly presented and understood.
“Democracy,” the president of
TCU said, “declares that man has
inalienable rights. It says that
ordinary people have the capacity
to achieve self-government. It
assrets that in spite of all blunders
arid mistakes people make when
they do attempt to govern them
selves, over long periods of time
the most significant developments
and the greatest achievements can
be made when the people do ac
tually become conscious of and
fully accept the responsibilities
of self-government.
“These and like basic ideas in
volved in the democratic approach
to life would appeal to people any
where.
“Second—We must try to estab
lish some practical, workable
framework around which orderly
and decent life in the world can be
organized,” he said.

JERRY RENNET, ED HOLDER.
.Co-EdxtoTs
Dr. Sadler pointed out that “in
a world such as ours, we are talk
ing and acting like children when
we assume that we assume that
we can have permanent order and
decency for ourselves or for our
world unless and until we can de
velop some practical and workable
organization.
“Many had hoped that the Uni
ted Nations might provide this
needed framework.
“Third,” he said, “we must keep
strong the essential foundation out
of which democracy grows. The
leaders in our country from the
very beginning, have recognized
the inseparable relationship be
tween religion and democracy.
“Every basic idea involved in
the democratic approach to life is
founded in pure religion. We can
not continue to reap the fruits of
democracy unless we keep healthy
and strong its roots.
“To win in this tremendous world
conflict will demand the most in
telligent, the most unselfish and
the most whole-hearted coopera
tion and participation of every
freedom - loving person in the
world.”

Too Wild
Dog Dislikes
Campus Life
By Art McMutt
This is probably the first article
by me you’ve ever read. But that's
logical, because there ain’t too
many of us dogs that can type,
‘specially us of the all-American
breed.
In fact, I’m the first dog I
knowed of that has ever writ any
thing. But scratch my ticks if I
can set around and watch what’s
happening’ around here and not
bark a little ’bout it.
I’ve been around this here cam
pus a good while now. I knowed
the ol’ Rev a long time before she
died, and I don’t mind if I boast a
little here and say that I knows
just about ever dog around here
by his howl.
Best For Meeting
I dare say I’m the best on the
campus as far meetin’ critters
goes. The new Rev is pretty good
‘bout wipping-out, but she hain’t
got my strong grip.
Wall, gettin’ back on the sub
ject I started on every y’ar ’bout
this time things got as upset as I
was when the dog-catcher got after
me back in ’46. With school-l’arn-
in’ classes gettin’ turned out and
everything, all you humans are
gettin’ as wild as a bunch of tom
cats havin’ a singing party on the
back fence.
I was a wanderin’ through the
corps area this afternoon inspectin’
fire plugs when some youngster
exploded a fire cracker under me
that sounds louder than the can
nons did when they were shot off
in front of Ross Hall. It scared me
so bad I hain’t been able to wag
my tail since then.
If another deg had done that,
I’d a bit him. I had more since
! than that before I graduated from
the dog pound. To do such a thing
would seem as bad to me as my
tieing a tin can to one of my best
buddies’ tail. Slap my muzzle if I
don’t believe you humans think
completely different than us dogs.
Wall, after my hairs laid back
down like there supposed to and
my wits settled, I decided to go to
somebody’s room in one of the
dormitories and see if they
wouldn’t let me sleep in their
roommate’s bed.
I started to follow a bunch of
you all in the door when all of a
sudden somebody on the second

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
y Was
As bury Slur
Worst Example
Editors, The Battalion:
We do not know who was re
sponsible for the recent front page
story in The Battalion, so we will
leave it to your discretion where
in the fault lies. (In reference to
Dr. Asbury’s recent mishap.)
That specific story was one of
the worst examples of news report
ing that we have ever had the
misfortune to read.
It is inconceivable to think that
all your staff are endowed with
such petty, narrow minds, as to
allow such trivia to be planted.
